Super Mario Maker has added two new costumes. Players can nab both Callie and Marie from Super Mario Maker after completing the “Squid Sisters vs. Bloopers” Event Course twice.
Here’s an overview of the level:
“Urgent report from the Squid Research Lab! The Squid Sisters have been spotted in the world of Super Mario Maker, and the local squids don’t seem to be giving them a very warm welcome! It’s up to Callie and Marie to show those Blooper bullies that the new squids on the block aren’t about to be messed with. May the freshest squid win!”
And here’s some footage:

Another message from Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE’s co-director on the western launch
Posted on 8 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 42 Comments
Before Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE launched in North America and Europe last month, co-director Mitsuru Hirata shared a message on his own Twitter page. He very briefly commented on how the overseas version made changes to the original Japanese release.
After one fan mentioned their disappointment with censorship, Hirata weighed in on the situation again. He responded to that person with the following message:
“When I found out we were unable to provide the same experience as the Japanese version, I also felt some disappointment. But our overseas fans remained happy that the game was being brought over and I’m glad to see their passionate support. In the meantime, the new costumes added could in a way be considered a merit that can only be enjoyed by our overseas fans! Thank you, and please look forward to the game!”
Thanks to thieftheodore for the tip.
Significant Splatoon glitch allows players to become invisible
Posted on 8 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 11 Comments
Splatoon received a new update earlier this week. Perhaps as an unforeseen side effect, a significant glitch has been spotted by the community.
The glitch in question involves players becoming invisible, and they appear to be ascending to heaven on the kill cam. It happens after superjumping right before you hit water or an area out of bounds. You’ll be invisible to teammates as well as enemies starting with the superjump enemies, and your squid icon will be off the GamePad to teammates.
As for the kill cam, it’s shown in a certain way because you’re stuck in superjump animation to everyone else. Shots don’t do damage, but reports say that bombs are effective.
This video shows how chaotic things can become when both teams become invisible:
